I wish New York had a resolution, but I know better, New York will take every cent it can and ask for more.

[BuffaloJack]

Actually I’d like Western New York to seceed from New York and become a new state. Down State New York treats the rest of the state like like a big feed bag, taking everything and giving nothing back but tax bills.

How long before we see the flying of the original states rights flag, the Bonnie Blue Flag? It predated the Civil War as was flown as a declaration of the Sovernty of the States befor the outbreak of war.

"Pennsylvania Freepers - please lend support to Resolution 75"

Correction - Resolution 95.

Worried about Florida — Gov. Crist is in a hypnotic Obama trance

He’s needs to come out of the closet...

FGS, TG would like the current list of states.

OOPS. Missed this ping earlier and just happened upon it cruising the thread. Sorry about the oversight but I'm having trouble keeping up. I may be old but I'm REALLY slow. The following is an excellent compilation of the states in various stages of participating in the 10th Amendment Tsunami:

Bobby Jindal, a MAN for the times!

However, Gov. Arnold in California / Mexifornia is a PUTZ, begging for money, how pathetic!

Keep in mind that if you ever accept the king’s shilling, you become the king’s man. The banks which accepted TARP funds are now getting to see the ex post facto effects: government control over their operations. And the German Phrase made famous by the 1st Special Service Force: “Die dicke ende comm noch” (the worst is yet to come!)

Time for a second act of secession...

[stevie_d_64]

I believe we should take Texas off the list for a technical foul...

Sure, we could claim to be on the list of the states that passed a resolution and the like...

But you cannot do that and take the money anyway, like what former democrat Rick Perry just did...

Somehow that kinda makes it hypocritical...In my opinion of course...

Some may say that taking the stimulus money will have strings attached to it...I believe they are not strings, but heavy mooring lines they use to secure ships to piers...

Just my opinion...

several of the states in the group of 11 surprise me as they are blue core states.

Did Bush ever have any State do this to him?

Oklahoma did it about a year ago.

Think of it as a tennis game.

The states just hit the ball into the fed’s side.

The nationwide FUBO movement is garnering strength.

This will give you contact information for your legislators.

So what does this really mean once the States have passed these resolutions? Does it really make any difference or is it more symbolic?

I called my state senator, Thomas Alexander, when I first heard about this last week. He said that no laws were slated to be drawn up based on this resolution.

I asked him if he would characterize the resolution as 'symbolic'. His opinion was that it was more than symbolism, that is was an affirmation of states rights based on the 10th amendment, a belief that the federal government was overstepping it's power.

I'm not sure that it's going to mean anything to communists that are currently running the federal government but I'm glad that the states that have passed such resolutions are at least putting the feds on notice.

Surprising......Is Jim Clyburn going to accuse all of them of racism?

Who cares?

I know for a fact that it’s taking the ‘stimulus’ money! This doesn’t add up.

I would prefer the states to be able to opt out of both the receiving and the subsequent paying back of their portions. If, however, they are going to have to pay back a portion of the 'stimulus' money, then they should take it. Otherwise it is a simple looting.

Arnold Schwarzenegger said California “will gladly take anything” the other states don’t claim, further reinforcing the notion that he has the intellect of a turnip.

I feel sorry for the guy, considering the low quality of the constituency he has to work with
